Handwork in Wood (Classic Reprint) Reviews

Noyes' "Handwork in Wood" is a classic text on woodworking, recommended by many. I was led to this book by Christopher Schwarz' writing and looked forward to learning from it. Unfortunately this Kindle edition has left out all the illustrations, making it pretty much useless. Luckily there are plenty of used print editions available at very reasonable prices. Get one of those instead.

I recently became interested in weaving which uses a lot of relatively expensive yet simple wooden tools. I was able to make some of the tools myself and became interested in making more complex wooden tools for weaving (and spend my money on buying yarn!) Since I have not had any experience in woodworking this sounded like a useful book to check out. The book has a lot of details, unfortunately the kindle version is missing images. I found the book useful but it would be much better if the images were included.

I know a little about wood and woodworking,but certainly not enough to attempt a project like repairing and improving our decaying deck. I bought this book with the hopes it would help,and it did. Took me longer than most, but I finally got the deck done, and it turned out the way we wanted it. No way would I have known what I was doing without this book.

Just Ok

No illustrations. As cheaply done as possible. Might be of value - but who would know. Should not be on sale in this format. Any intro book with figures called for in text would be better. No further business with this publisher.

wood doesn't change. tools and methods change, but many like working wood "the old way," or just learning about it. a fun, interesting read
